Action Research on The Effectiveness of Autonomous Practices Upon Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study between the results obtained by two groups of students for a problem-based subject over two different systems of learning: the traditional, classroom-based delivery, and a system coupling that with a more interactive tutorial-based approach. The results show an improvement in the grade performance with the newer, interactive approach.
